My tart pan arrived with little sticky pads between the removable bottom and the frame. Am I supposed to take those off or leave them on??

Take them off because you don't want a leaky pan. Actually, mine didn't come packed this way.......but remove. Happy baking!

Mine did as well, remove them, they are just for packing purposes. The bottom of the pan is removable for serving/presentation purposes.

I always use a cooking spray before using the pans. But I would do this with any pan, just a habit. There is some sticking, but if you scrap the bottom while cooking makes for a good gravy. Or if you do not desire to scrap the pan like for example in the case of cooking eggs, simply put water in the pan after you finish cooking and let it sit for a few minutes, they clean right up.

I use all types depending on the food I'm cooking. I have nott scratched them yet. If something discolors it or sticks I boil some soapy water briefly & it comes off. Or I use those green pads & Barkeepers Friend.

I suggest you not overheat them or scrub them with very rough material. If you do not do the first you should not need to do the second. These are my favorites and no problems. I read the other reviews then went back to check all my pans. No smell and one slight stain which I cleaned. I'm a Happy Cooker.

I just wiped it clean under the machine with wet then dry paper towel. I purchased extra tines in case I needed them but after using ti twice I have not needed them.

I think I may have retuned them as they were not the right size for the tarts I wanted to do. Question for you - do you prick the tart dough with a fork before baking? That will keep the bubble out. The other thing to do is blind bake them which would probably be a pain with the small size - either crumple up foil to put in the middle of each one or line with a bit of foil and use rice or dried beans to weigh down. The tart dough is only partially baked and then filled and finished. Hope this helps. Ann

Theres is a light sticking problem but they usually come free pretty easily. Might have to tap them out a little. Dont press on it to hard. I tend not to use the inset. The groves/indentations on both sides is enough to not cause the burger to plump up. I dont think you absolutely need the paper but it will probably make it easier.

You can see my earlier review concerning this issue-I had the same problem. It was suggested by another reviewer to let the sticker soak in peanut oil for up to 8 hours to remove. I think it's absurd that the manufacturer puts a sticker with extremely strong adhesive on the cooking surface. My pan was ruined by the time I got the sticker removed.

The only thing I can suggest is what someone already did - take the underneath plate off, and use distilled water. Hope you did not put anything in the water..that will certain spoil the machine.

I peeled it off, I think it was part of packaging. Although I cann't see any harm leaving it on.

the same thing happened to my pan and I just cover it with aluminum foil then spray that with cooking spray. turns out completely fine PLUS there's no cleaning that way. :)

I just make sure the pans are extremely well oiled, either using a baking spray or butter. Also, when you wash the pans, be sure to hand-wash them and towel-dry them immediately, otherwise the finish might be ruined.

They are sticky! Other things had gotten "sticky" around here and I'd not gotten that far. One of my favorite ways to remove that kind of thing is spray on Pam or your equivalent. You might that a try or soak it in hot water for a while.

Are you using any type of cooking spray- if so, stop and clean pan well. These are made NOT to use sprays. Rinsing extremely well with as hot of water as possible after washing with soapy water is a must. I would very lightly "grease pain with butter", but very lightly. This may prevent further sticking. Hope this helps. I've not had any trouble so far.

I haven't had a problem with that yet but I have heard the best product for cleaning these pans is a cleaner called Barkeep's Friend. I found it at Lowe's of all places.

I had the same problem and eventually threw the pan out after several attempts at crepes. It's junk. But if you decide to keep it, brillo pads got a lot of the food that stuck off.

I just really really love this pan. It so neat the way they come out so perfect each time. All the edges are perfect. You must make sure that all the edges and the frame are well greased. I used a spray such as Pam and sprayed everything and then I sprayed a paper towel and wiped each section of the frame.You must also cool throughly before removing the rack. Hope this helps. Jean G
